I take advantage of the sweetness announced for the next few days to finally share this beet salad recipe with you. I have eaten it all these last months, with the same pleasure each time. You could say that I took full advantage of the beet season.
It’s a vegetable that I love. No more no less. I like it, but I can do without it. Well, that’s for the beet that you buy already cooked, vacuum-packed, and completely softened. Because here I will tell you about baked and roasted beetroot. And here we are talking about something completely different. The beet thus becomes a fantastic vegetable. I doubt that I will not convince the most refractory, but the others, I promise, they will enjoy themselves.
Cooking is a bit long. That’s why I always cook 1 kilo. So, I have several days. I never tire of these salads, which I decorate according to my desires.
The recipe I’m giving you today is definitely my favorite. The sweetness of the pomegranate goes perfectly with the slightly earthy flavor of the beetroot. When goat cheese, it’s still the perfect marriage.
I hope that all these beautiful flavors, and these magnificent colors will make you want to discover this salad.
